Cricket Day 2019

Come along to The 1st Central County Ground on Tuesday 24th September 2019 and join Hove Soiree Rotary Club members, sponsors and friends enjoying a fun filled day of cricket & comedy. We will be based in Cow Corner, a function room located just beyond the fielding position of the same name when batsmen face bowling from the Sea End. Cow Corner is bathed in natural sunlight and opens up onto pitch-level decking with front row seats to first-class cricket fixtures. We will be watching day 2 of Sussex’s Specsavers County Championship match against Worcestershire.

Tickets are priced at £55 to include a 3 course meal, full match day ticket and live entertainment from Ian Irving, a well known comedian, compere, raconteur and after dinner speaker. As with all our projects & activities, all proceeds will of course go to support our well deserving Rotary charities; we are a registered charity, number 1138898.

Situated in the heart of Hove, nestled between the South Downs and the sea, with excellent public transport links via nearby Hove train station and also local bus services, it’s the perfect place for an occasion like our regular annual ‘where cricket meets rotary’ events.

The car park is at the bottom on the right-hand side, and is around five minutes’ walk from the ground. The postcode for the car park is BN3 3BE and you can view the parking tariff on the Brighton and Hove City Council website (charges apply between 8am and 8pm).
